MAGA Republicans’ Looming Government Shutdown Would Crush Wisconsin Families
MADISON, Wis. — MAGA House Republicans continue to threaten Wisconsinites’ livelihoods with a looming government shutdown as the GOP remains consumed with chaotic infighting over their extreme agenda. In response, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Joe Oslund released the following statement:
- Makes devastating, indiscriminate cuts to food safety, education, law enforcement, housing, Head Start and child care, Meals on Wheels, and more;
- Fails to provide urgent funding the president has requested to support disaster-struck communities, counter fentanyl trafficking, or preserve access to critical food assistance for pregnant and postpartum women and young children.
A MAGA government shutdown would be devastating for Wisconsinites:
- Force servicemembers and law enforcement officers to work without pay;
- Endanger disaster response by increasing the risk FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund is depleted, as well as complicate new emergency response efforts;
- Immediately cut off access to Head Start for 10,000 children across the country;
- Risk creating significant delays for travelers by forcing air traffic controllers and TSA officers to work without pay;
- Undermine food safety by forcing the Food and Drug Administration to delay food safety inspections.
